Synopsis

When a sinister underground movement threatens to overthrow the government, the Good Guys must call on the one crime fighter cool enough to infiltrate the enemy on the streets or between the sheets -- Undercover Brother (Griffin). A low-rent private eye with a Seventies sense of style, Undercover Brother trades in his afro, shades and platforms for khakis, horn-rims and penny loafers to go undercover as preppy nerd Antoine Jackson at a multinational conglomerate. But while he and his sassy partner (Ellis) try to find out what's going on, the leader's ruthless right arm (Katan) discovers their deception and dispatches the conspiracy's sexy secret weapon (Richards) to eliminate the intruders.

Critics' reviews

• "Hilarious, affectionate spoof."
• "The movie isn't just hilarious: It's witty and inventive, too, and in hindsight, it isn't even all that dumb."
• "The film works no matter which side of the racial divide you're on, because nothing unites an audience quite like making fun of everyone."
• "A frequently inspired hit-and-miss burlesque that definitely hits more than it misses."
• "There's not enough to sustain the comedy. Ultimately, the movie's short running time becomes its finest quality."
• "The rare popcorn movie that delivers. High-spirited and kinetic, it's the most endearingly goofy low comedy since 'How High'"
• "The audience I saw the film with was almost choking with laughter."
• "Tries to wring laughs from just about every dusty stereotype about blacks and whites imaginable. But it's all cheap, lazy, and unoriginal."
